Greetings Upper East Siders (i’ve been watching Gossip Girl for the 100th time so this is the only opening line I could give you right now, accept it).
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged so if this post is a very lukewarm time, I apologize. Anyway, since it is leo season and I am in fact a leo, I figured this would be the perfect post to christen my blog with.
For starters, I hope all of you are embracing the power of leo season and embracing all the glow, creativity, and action that comes along with it. Use it to find all of that inner confidence to do whatever is on your mind and don’t let anyone tell you what to do. Basically, I’m telling you to have a hot girl summer.
I’m going to warn you right now and say that you shouldn’t take 80% of the things I say seriously. This post is kind of one of those things. So without further ado, I give you, a day in the life of a leo during leo season.
6 AM: The sun peeks through the cracks where your curtain and window meet, waking you up from your beauty sleep. Making a stop in the bathroom to pee and look at yourself in the mirror real quick, you make your way to the kitchen for a tall glass of warm lemon water. After taking a moment to think of all the things you’re grateful for, you grab your phone and look through Instagram to check how the fire selfie you posted did overnight.
7 AM: After a calm, rush free morning, it’s time to get ready. Cleanse, exfoliate, apply a hydrating serum infused with gold to enhance that natural glow, moisturize, and SPF. Don’t forget the SPF. We love the sun, but sometimes she can show a little bit too much love, and we don’t want wrinkles!
7:30 AM: Time for breakfast. You cut open some fresh, ripe fruit. Perhaps an orange and some strawberries to further that morning hydration and start your day off right. If you’re going to be the generous and charming soul you are, you’ll need the proper nourishment.
8 AM: You’re on top of your shit and you know it’s time to get some work done before you can have some fun. You answer your e-mails, draft blog posts, reach out to brands, and work on starting your fashion line, because why not?
10 AM: Time to take a much needed break and unwind. You turn on your music as loud as it goes and do some pilates. Staying active really centers you and gets you ready for your day while keeping you lean and toned. It’s important that you’re ready to pounce at every opportunity. You finish with a nice yoga stretch to really release those muscles and cool down before getting something to eat.
11:30 AM: For lunch you start with some pure celery juice, because hashtag your body is a temple and celery juice will fix everything. Even your bank account! 15 minutes after the celery juice, it’s time to nourish your body even more with a refreshing, yet satisfying, salad with veggies you got at your local farmers market and some quinoa. Don’t forget to top with red chili pepper flakes, because your food needs to be as hot as you are!
12:30 AM: It’s time to put on some makeup. First, more SPF, because duh. Then, we use a bit of concealer to even out your almost perfect skin, add some bronzer, and mascara before setting with some dewy setting spray. You basically invented the no-makeup makeup look. After all, glow is your middle name. And we can’t forget that lions mane! But let’s face it, all you really need to do is spray some water on it to awaken your luscious locks and you’re good to go.
1 PM: You put on some flirty french music and open your overflowing closet to pick something to wear. Since it can be hard to choose from so many fabulous options, the obvious thing to do is to try on millions of outfits and dance around in front of the mirror. Settling on a white eye-lit off the shoulder top and matching white flowing skirt, you’re ready to share your goddess energy with the rest of the world.
2 PM: You hit up your up local boutiques, where you willingly throw your money at them, because you are a constantly evolving human being and your clothing needs to represent who you are as a person every single day. Are you a posh spice or a baby spice? You just never know, until that morning when faced with the dilemma! Your next stop is an all natural skincare store where you pick up your fave vanilla essential oil perfume blend. Synthetic fragrances are not worthy of your flesh.
4 PM: Taking a break from making very important shopping decisions, you head to a chic cafe where the natural light just pours in. Grabbing a window seat, where the sun is the warmest, you sit down with your golden milk latte. (because what else would you be drinking?) You also take a call from your friend at this time, who is dealing with something major. Being the generous and empathetic soul you are, you take the time to be there for her and give her literally the best advice anyone ever could.
5 PM: After having a mindful and present dinner of root veggies and angel tears, you realize it’s golden hour! The only thing you can do right now is take advantage of the selfie lighting… also butt pics, because you’re feeling yourself and the lingerie you bought earlier deserves its time to shine.
6 PM: You thought it was going to be an early night, but your friends call you to meet them for karaoke. What kind of leo would you be if you skipped out on a moment to shine and be a star?!
8 PM: Finally getting home it’s time to unwind. You take off your makeup, do your skincare routine, and take a hot shower; dropping some lavender essential oil in the shower to get you ready for sleep. After your shower, you get your beach essentials ready for tomorrow morning. Sun, sand, and salt water are a total must after your busy day!
9 PM: Right before getting into bed, you look in the mirror one last time and remind yourself that you are a goddess and you love yourself. Now it’s time to finally get your minimum eight hours of sleep to give you the strength to be the bad bitch you are.
